American Saw & Mfg. Company began in 1915 with ten employees making hacksaw blades under the trade name of LENOX®. The company has grown tremendously since then, now employing over 600 people and marketing band saw blades, sawing fluids, hand tools and power tool accessories in over 70 countries around the world.

Despite the considerable changes over time, the LENOX® trade name has remained constantly synonymous with quality. Over eighty years after it's introduction, LENOX® continues to identify our company and products around the world.

The LENOX® trade name comes from the wolves that once roamed the hills of Scotland. On the western shore of Loch Lomond, where the lowland pastures meet the sweeping hills of the highlands, the Earl of Lenox made his home.

Also in the area, the wolf pack found shelter and food a plenty. The wolves were known to possess strength, power and the sharpest of teeth. It has been almost 200 years since the last wolf was seen in Scotland, but the legend of the Wolves of Lenox lives on. American Saw's Tool Division has adopted this image to portray those same characteristics for our blades.

Our strong sense of professionalism is rooted within the walls of our facility in East Longmeadow, MA. American Saw is a privately owned, family run business, operated by the Davis family. For three generations, the Davis family has demonstrated its unshakable commitment to excellence. That commitment is shared by a world-wide team of employees striving to develop, manufacture and deliver quality products and services.

Our focus on quality began many years ago and continues to be a unifying force throughout every process in our organization. In 1995 this quality commitment was formally recognized when we achieved ISO 9001 certification. We are pleased to integrate this important phase in quality processing into our greater quality achievement strategy.

Further, our commitment to quality extends to our entire sales organization. Your LENOX® representative is knowledgeable in the band and/or tool industry. Selected for their experience, professionalism and quality, they are trained on both the application and marketing of LENOX® products. He or she strives to develop a trusting, working relationship with our distributor partners.

In materials separation, our quality products and services have been providing exceptional value since 1915. We strive to maximize quality in every step of our operation for the long-term benefit of our end users. We will continue to actively participate in the global marketplace, so that no matter where you are, you can depend on Lenox quality.

Finally, but most importantly, we recognize that nothing is possible without satisfied, repeat customers. We also realize that the meaning of satisfaction may differ somewhat from one customer to the next. So we're flexible. After all, change and innovation has kept us growing since 1915.
